New trial over Maradona’s death set for 17 March 2026 | OneFootball

An Argentine court has scheduled the start of the new trial regarding the circumstances of Diego Maradona's death for March 17, 2026, following the suspension of the first trial in May of this year, according to a judicial decision issued this Wednesday.

The first trial in San Isidro, in the north of Buenos Aires, was annulled after the court removed one of the judges for participating in the filming of an unauthorized documentary about the proceedings.

The scandal ended with the resignation of the other magistrates who were part of the court, and another court was designated to initiate a new trial.

In Wednesday's decision, the San Isidro court summoned the parties for a preliminary hearing on November 12 for the “review and admission of the evidence presented.”

Maradona passed away on November 25, 2020 due to pulmonary edema while recovering at home from neurosurgery.

Eight members of the Argentine star's medical team could be sentenced to 8 to 25 years in prison for homicide with eventual intent, meaning they were aware that their actions could result in the patient's death.
